Learning to Bloom
My name is Yllari. I am a Cacao Ceremonialist, Reiki Teacher, author, and women's circle facilitator. My passions include graphic art, dance, and the healing power of medicine songs and natural medicine.
​
I hold a deep belief that peace emanates from our actions, spiritual evolution, community engagement, and commitment to social justice. With a professional background in Communications, I have contributed to intercultural, ecological, and social initiatives for many years.
​
Born in Peru, I relocated to the United States in 2013, where I embraced motherhood and underwent a transformative journey of self-reinvention. I am deeply grateful to this country, which has welcomed me with amazing friends and family whose love is invaluable to me. Founding Tikay by Yllari has been a profoundly meaningful endeavor, one that reflects my core values: reconnecting, keep learning and integrating the wisdom from my heritage and indigenous roots, bringing these learnings to every circle or retreat I facilitate; and fostering a culture of real peace through connections with and between fellow peace seekers, cacao rituals practitioners, advocates of magical manifestation, people who care for Pachamama across territories and cultures, sound healing and medicine songs artists; and practitioners of solidarity, among others.
​
T'ikay, which means "Blooming" in Quechua, is my journey of spiritual growth. I am dedicated to guiding transformative Cacao circle and rituals, as well as transformational retreats, that foster heart-opening experiences and deeper connection with our authentic selves. Drawing from traditions rooted in my homeland and across the world, my approach blends diverse practices to create meaningful experiences. I am particularly passionate about keep learning and including wisdom from the ancestral Andean and Amazonian worldview.
​
In addition to leading Cacao ceremonies, I offer both in-person and online Reiki sessions, comprehensive Reiki trainings, women's circles, sound healing sessions, and unique graphic art clothing. Please take a moment to explore my store – I would be delighted for you to visit!

Thank you sincerely for taking the time to read this. Your support and presence mean a lot to me.
